As it turns out, Sam Darnold's stint with the Minnesota Vikings was only going to be for one season. He did more than enough in Minnesota, though, to establish himself as one of the top free agents in the market, which ultimately led to a big-money deal with the Seattle Seahawks.
This came in the form of a $100.5 million contract for three years as the Seahawks hand over the reins to the 27-year-old quarterback.
On Sunday, Darnold's girlfriend, Katie Hoofnagle, took to Instagram to share an offseason update amid their big move to Seattle. Hoofnagle shared a series of photos from the past several weeks, which included a cute mirror selfie with Darnold.
"offseasoning," she captioned her post.

Hoofnagle's post turned heads online as fans and friends alike flocked to her latest photo series.
"She's thriving!" a comment on Instagram read.
"Thriving is right!!!" agreed another.
"Cutest couple in the world!" declared a fan.
"A vibe! " a post read.
"California gurl," reacted a user.
"Back to her roots," said another.
Even Darnold reacted to his girl's post, commenting with a single red heart emoji.
Hoofnagle saw to it that she was able to support Darnold last season by attending Vikings games as much as she could. She will be doing the same this coming season, except that they will now be repping the Seahawks in what could be another big year for the former USC star QB.
